Instead of spiking the ball hard all the time, there are offensive volleyball strategies you can use when you attack the ball, especially if you're facing a big block.
When your fingertips contact the ball your contact needs to be soft, quick and done so the ball doesn't contact the palm of your hand.
Learn ways how to score points or sideout by using the tip as an option to hitting hard spikes.
Use the tip to score a point or sideout if you are an outside hitter who gets a set close to the net.
Aim the ball at the block’s outside or external arm and wipe the ball off the block’s forearm.
When two players contact the ball at the same time over the net, the second one to touch the ball almost always wins.
You can very often save a tip gone bad and win the joust by using this strategy.
Confirm with your teammates that the opposing team is playing man-up defense with a player responsible for picking up the tips, playing right behind the block.
You now know you have deep court open positions on the court you can tip to. In practice, learn to tip high over the block to the deep corners of the court during rallies.
Be unpredictable by mixing up your shots.
Tip the balls everyone expects you to hit and hit the imperfect ones that are a little off the net that everyone expects you to tip.
Be smart and use common sense. Leave those balls that are below the net height or too low to hit to.
The middle of the court is almost always the sweet spot on almost everybody’s court.
It’s where points are often made, and where balls fall because no one is covering that area.
When you’ve been blocked a couple of times and you’re looking to change up your attack, especially in long rallies, remember that the middle of the court is almost always open especially when you feel you don’t have any hitting options.

I share alot of individual, partner and easy-to-do volleyball serving drills we do in class with my followers.
Many of these volleyball practice drills you can do at home by yourself or try at your next practice with your teammates.
If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
